ABSTRACT: The basic aim of this study is to determine the influence of Flipped learning on attitudes of
students towards technology in the 8th grade math lesson. The workgroup of this study is consisted of the 8th
grade students of Mithatpaa Secondary School that is in the centre of Giresun. Two of the 5 eighth grade
classes were included in the study. One of the classes that has 32 students is determined as the experimental
group and the other class that has 30 students is determined as the control group. In the study, in the forming of
the both experimental and control groups, rendom sampling method that is one of the probability based
sampling methods was used. The findings were collected by using both qualitative and quantitative data
collection tools. Before-after application in the quantitative size, to determine the attitudes of students towards
technology The Turkey version of students attitudes scale towards technology (PATT-TR) that has 24 items
and that was developed by Yurdagl and Akar (2008) was applied to the experimental and control groups.
During the application, videos that are appropriate for the lesson content were prepared for the experimental
group which was determined as flipped classroom and these videos were uploded to Education information
Network by the teacher. Finally, at the end of the qualitative practice, qualitative data were collected by
usingsemi-structured interview form and using document analysis developed by Ko (2016).
Keywords: Flipped classroom, flipped learning, Learning, teaching, technology.

I. INTRODUCTION
Learning is the process of changing behaviour of the individual permanently as a result of his
communication with the environment. This process for the individual is gaining a different dimension day by
day with the development of technology. Because, technology has become indispensable to our life. At home, at
school, at work, life without technology has became almost unimaginable. Especially, in the teaching
programmes/curriculum prepared, the importance of technology is repeatedly emphasized. This importance is
taken into consideration not only in the programmes but in new models/approaches and in the process of
learning as well. For example, in recent years, both in Turkey and in the world, there have been
recommendations/studies about forming flipped classrooms and its implementation. As a term, the flipped
classrooms that have come to the agenda with Bakers (2000) presentation titled The classroom flip, using web
course management tools to become the guide by the side(Temizyret ve nl 2015:66) that he gave this
lecture in an international conferance on learning and teaching offer students the opportunity to use technology.
In other words, by means of technology, students learn not in the classrooms, but they learn by following the
videos that are prepared by their teachers. In flipped classrooms, these videos are recorded before and they are
presented to the studens by using Khan Academy, Coursera, TED talks, YouTube, Kidblog, moodle
and YouTube Kidblog, moodle and Blackboard. While forming these videos, devices such as Zaption.com
(You Tube; Vimeo; PBS and National Geographic) are used (Temizyyrek and nl 2015:66). Because of this
and similar aspects, the flipped classrooms are different from the traditional classrooms (Jonson & Renner
2012). In other words, in the flipped classrooms, time is not wasted by listening to teachers. Students try to
discuss and ask questions that they encounter in the videos and the subjects that they dont undestand by
forming groups in the classroom or by doing individual studies with the guidance of the teacher. There have
been many studies that such a learning process improves high level behaviours at students (Gannod, Burge &
Helmick, 2008, Staker, 2011, Baal, 2011, Christensen, Horn &Staker, 2013). But, in Turkey there were very
few studies about flipped learning or flipped classrooms. However, in the 21st century that is technological era,
teaching programmes want to educate individuals who use technology, question and solve problems. The
flipped classrooms are needed to educate such individuals. Because, the flipped learning classes put the student
in the centre with the applications both in class and out of class and so it is expected to contribute positively to
students achivement. Therefore, with the studies, the flipped learning and flipped classrooms that are the
application area of the flipped learning are required to explain to teachers, parents, administrators, experts and in
the application of the programme that is prepared in accordance with constructivist education understanding
effectively, the importance of the flipped classrooms need to be emphasized. Starting from these explanations,
the problem sentence of the study is to determine the students attitudes towards technology in the flipped
learning in the 8th grade math class. In the study, the answers of the following questions are searched:

Is there a significant difference between the scores of the students attitudes towards pre-test technology in
the experimental and control groups.
Is there significant difference between the scores of the students attitudes towards pre-test and post-test
technology in the control group.
Is there significant difference between the scores of the students attitudes towards pre-test and post-test
technology in the experimental group.
Is there significant difference between the scores of the students attitudes towards post-test technology in
the experimental and control groups.
What are the thoughts of the students related with the efficiency of the flipped learning?

II. METHOD
2.1 Research Model
In the study, the mixed method in which qualitative and quantitative research designs are taken
together has been used. In the mixed method, qualitative and quantitative data total tools are collected
simultaneously, the analysis techniques are used simultaneously and they are applied at different times in the
way of completing each other (Tashakkori ve Teddie, 2003:11). In this study, dominant and less dominant
mixed design have been preferred and accordingly both qualitative and quantitative data collection tools have
been used in the study. In the quantitative dimension of the study that is dominant, in order to determine the
attitudes of the students towards technology in the flipped learning, pretest-posttest paired control group design
that is one of the semi-experimental designs has been used. In the qualitative dimension that is less dominant,
case study design has been used in order to both support and make understandable the data obtained in the
qualitative dimension. Starting from qualitative design, in the study, the data from semi-structured interview
forms and document analysis have been collected.
2.2 Study Group
The workgroup of this study is consisted of the 8th grade students of Mithatpaa Secondary School that
is in the centre of Giresun. The workgroup is formed from 32 students that is determined as the experimental
group and from 30 students that is determined as the control group and in total 62 students. In the study, in
forming of both experimental and control groups, rendom sampling method that is one of the probability
based sampling methods was used.
2.3 Data Collection Tools
In the study, the data has been collected by using both qualitative and quantitative data collection tools.
Before and after application in the quantitative size, to determine the attitudes of students towards technology in
the experimental and control groups The Turkey version of students attitudes scale towards technology
(PATT-TR) that has 24 items and that was developed by Yurdagl and Akar (2008) has been used. The scale
has been applied to 3308 students at the age of between 12-16 in state and private schools in the cities of
Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir, Izmit, Mersin, orum, Batman, Gmhane, Ardahan. The scale consists of sub
dimensions named as trend towards technology, the contribution and importance of technology and
technology for everyone.
In the study, during the application 10-minute- videos that are suitable to the lesson content were
prepared for the experimental group which was determined as the flipped classroom and these videos were
uploded to Education information Network by the teacher and the students followed the lesson by watching
these videos. Afterwards, the students were divided into groups of 5-6 according to the subjects the teacher
taught in the class and they were asked if they had any questions about the subject(s) they watched. In the
groups, the students solved tests individually or in groups, they asked questions and they formed discussion
groups. In the control group, the teacher taught the lesson in line with the current programme, completed the
learning process with homework and tests. In the study, at the same time, semi-structured interview form
developed by Ko (2016) has been prepared. While the form being prepared, expert opinions were applied and
necessary correction were made in line with the recommendations/criticisms from the experts. Afterwards, by
taking the opinios of 12 students from the experimental group about the flipped learning, the interview form
was applied. The interview with the students were recorded. Finally, in order to provide data diversities in the
study, by taking the pictures of the classroom application, the findings from other data resources were tried to be
supported.
2.4 Data Analysis
In the analysis of the data in the study, in order to determine whether the scores that were obtained
from the PATT-TR scales which were applied to the experimental and control groups show normal distribution,
Shapiro-Wilks value has been considered; that the condition of the value is smaller than 0.05 has been required.

At the end of the anlysis, in the anlysis of the data related with pretest-posttest of the scale of PATT-TR, the
parametric test has been used. In the study, in order to compare the pretest-posttest scores of the groups in
which the distribution is normal, the t-test in independent groups has been used; in order to compere the pretestposttest scores in the experimental and control groups in the dependent groups the t-test has been used. In the
anlysis of qualitative data, descriptive and content anlysis methods have been used. Besides, from the photos
that were taken during the application in the class have been quoted.

When the data in Table 1 is analysed, between the avarages of attitude scores towards pre-test
technology of the experimental and control group students, significant diversity hasnt been observed [t(60)=
4,418; t(60)= 3,165; t(60)= 0,935 ; t(60)= 2,087; p>0.05]. When the aritmetical avarage of the groups is analysed,
the avarages of attitude scores towards pre-test technology of the experimental group students has been seen that
the trend towards technology is=23,63;
the negative dimension of the technology is
=27,03; the
contribution of technology and its importance is = 21, 59; technology for everyone is= 21,20.The avarage
attitude scores of the students in the control group towards pre-test technology is that the trend towards
technology is=20,43, the negative dimension of the technology is= 24,80; the contribution of technology and its
importance is= 21, 13; technology for everyone is
= 23,70. This finding can be interpreted that the groups
are very near to each other and the difference between the groups cant be observed (p>0.05), the groups are
equal to each other.

When the data in Table 2 is analysed, between the avarages of attitude scores towards pre-test and posttest technology of the control group students, significant diversity hasnt been observed [t(29)= 9,573; t(29)=
5,476; t(29)= 3,327; t(29)= 5,359; p>0.05]. The avarage attitude scores of the students in the control group
towards pre-test technology is that the trend towards technology is=20,43, the negative dimension of the
technology is= 24,80; the contribution of technology and its importance is= 21, 13;technology for everyone is
= 23,70. The avarage attitude scores of the students in the control group towards post-test technology is that
the trend towards technology is=27,00, the negative dimension of the technology is= 27,80; the contribution of

technology and its importance is= 29,83; technology for everyoneis= 11,36. This finding can be interpreted that
the materials that are used in Math lesson which is taught in accordance with the current programme doesnt
effect the attitudes towards technology of the students in the control group.

When the data in Table 3 is analysed, between the avarages of attitude scores towards pre-test and posttest technology of the experimental group students, significant diversity has been observed[t (31)= 17,800; t(31)=
15,867; t(31)= 11,979; t(31)= 13,482; p<0.05] . When the aritmetical avarage of the groups is analysed, the
avarages of attitude scores towards pre-test technology of the experimental group students has been seen that the
trend towards technology is =23,63, the negative dimension of the technology is
=27,03; the contribution of
technology and its importance is= 21, 59; technology for everyone is= 21,20.The avarage attitude scores of the
students in the experimental group towards pre-test technology is that the trend towards technology is =35,43,
the negative dimension of the technology is= 17,03; the contribution of technology and its importance is =
26,09; technology for everyone is
= 13,28. This finding can be interpreted that the experimental group
studens, with the flipped learning, want to choose a job related with technology, they like the activities related
with technology, they think that technology is beneficial to the future of a country, technology has got useful
sides more than harmful sides, they think that technology is the futures subject, the use of technology will
increase the welfare of a country, it will decrease the unemployment, everybody will not be able to find job in
the field of technology and everybody will not be able to get education in the field of technology.

the students in the control group towards pre-test technology is that the trend towards technology is
=27,00, the negative dimension of the technology is=27,80; the contribution of technology and its importanceis
= 29,83; technology for everyone is= 11,36. This finding can be interpreted that the students, in the flipped
learning classrooms want to have some works related with technology, the works related with technology are
not boring, they find the hobbies related with technology entertaining, technology is important in life and they
want to be educated in the field of technology. In other words, the students in the flipped learning classrooms
have improved positive attitudes towards technology. The students in the control group stated that technology
will effect the society negatively, it wont contribute to the development of the society and the studies in the
field of technology will not make people happy.

As seen in the table 5, the students define the flipped learning as collective working and using the
technology actively. In the interviews with 12 students, it is understood that the students have defined the
flipped learning as working in collaboration [working with a group (f=5), working together (f=3), forming
groups (f=3), working by sharing (f=2) and working as a team. Starting from these findings, it can be stated that
the students define the flipped learning as the knowlegde and skills that they obtain by means of technolojy
devices and sharing them with the groups in the classroom (for example:1-2-3-4-5) and discuss about them.
[1]. I have heard the flipped learning for the first time. I liked it very much. Our teacher mentioned us about
this learning. To me, that we dont have any homework is very nice. At school we study together with our
friends as group works. (S1)
[2]. It was so boring to listen to the lesson in the classroom. Now, we are learning with our teachers videos
at home. At school we are doing our homework in the group. I loved this learning classroom. (S2)
[3]. I wish this type of learning would continue. What a beautiful thing it is. We dont have to listen to the
lesson for hours. (S3)
[4]. .With the flipped learning, I am able to listen to the lesson again whenever I want. By coming together
with the group, we share our knowledge. (S4)
[5]. . I didnt use to like the math lesson very much but now I started to like it with this learning. We can
discuss about our homework with our friends group. (S6).
The students have defined the flipped learning that it uses technology actively. According to the
students, the flipped learning improves the skill of using technology actively [they can use technology
everywhere (f=4), they listen to the videos whenever they like (f=3), they listen to their lessons limitlessly (f=3),
they listen to the video again and again from EBA (f=3) ]. In this finding, it can be said that with the flipped
learning, the students are able to use the devices and materials related with the lesson at school, at home, in the
car, in the library (example: 6-7-8-9) and by repeating and revising they consolidate the subject better.
[6].
[7].
[8].

before I hadnt revised my lessons so much.. I am always re-watching my teachers videos with the
help of this learning. (S5)
. When I go to bed, I am revising the subjects of the next days Math lesson with the flipped
learning.. (S6)
Our olders say that technology is harmful. Let them hear about the flipped learning and see how
benefical it is. To me you should use this technology consciously. (S7)

[9].

Whenever told about technology, smart boards used to come to my mind. But with the flipped learning,
I am repeating and revising my subjects at the school service or library all the time. (S8)

As understood from the table 5, the students have stated that the classrooms in which there is the
flipped learning is active classroom [ they joing in the group activity willingly (f=3), they participate in the
individual works actively (f=2), they dont receive the knowledge passively (f=2), they learn by using their five
senses (f=2), they show open participation (f=2), they dont establish one-sided communication (f=1), they use
the technology efficiently (f=1)]. In the current math lessons, it has been observed that there is a traditional
classroom [the students communicate with only the teacher (f=3), there are not any group works (f=2), all the
time the lesson is told (f=2), questions from lesson boks are solved (f=2), there are not different activities (f=2),
the method of telling the lesson is used excessively (f=2), the order of the desk is back to back.] Starting from
this finding, it can be said that in the flipped learning classrooms, the students join the group works actively
(example: 10-11-12-13), in the traditional classrooms, there is only one-sided communication (example: 14-1516) and this situation causes the students to have passive participation.
[10] I like studying in groups. (S9) (example:Figure1)

Figure 1:The students join the group works actively

[11] ..Not on my own,I like studying in groups. (S1)
[12] In the flipped classrooms, we have formed very good groups and we study very well. (S4)
[13] When a student studies in a group, he can learn better. (S5)
[14] Before the flipped learning, we used to discuss about the subjects with our teacher. (S10)
[15] .We only listen to the teacher. (S11)
[16] .We never use any technological devices. I was bored very much. (S12)
As seen in the table 5, with the flipped learning, it has been seen that technological equipment is used
more, the students learn by questioning [ it provides a flexible classroom condition(f=2), it questions the
knowledge by repeating in different situations (f=2), it takes different opinions in the group into consideration
(f=2), it brings different teachers together (f=2) ]. Besides this, in the flipped classrooms, it can be said that the
students combine the knowledge with technology [ the students can get the subjects that the teacher teach more
easily(f=4), they have the opportunity to watch the lesson videos all the time (f=3), for the last thing, about
sharing the knowledge they share the things they have learned from their immediate environment (f=2), they
exchange knowledge with their teachers from the different resources (f=2), they share lesson materials in the
virtual platform (f=2). From this point of view, it can be concluded that, with the flipped learning, the students
can get the subject and the questions more comfortably that the teacher teaches and asks (example:17-18-19-20).
[17] Before, I used to ask the things that I didnt understand to my teacher. Now, I turn on the video
whenever I want and watch the lesson again.. (S8)
[18] I didnt like going to the teachers room and ask my questions but now, with the flipped learning, I can
ask my questions in the lesson more comfortably..(S9)
[19] I study my lessons at home and ask my questions related with the subject I study.. (S10)

[20] I had never imagined that I would study math at home and come to school so. I am learning very well as
if our teacher was giving me private lessons. (S11).

IV. DISCUSSION, RESULTS AND SUGGESTIONS

Between the avarage attitude scores towards technology of pre-test of the experimental and control
groups students, and pre-test and post-test of the control group students , significant differentiation has not
been observed. In other words, between the attitude scores of the students of the experimental group which is
determined as the flipped classroom any differentiation wasnt observed and the activities that are performed
according to the current programme, workshops, the teachers in classroom activities dont change the students
attitutes towards technology.
In the experimental group where the flipped learning takes place, it has been concluded that the
students want to choose a profession related with technology, technology is an important factor in the countrys
development and it decreases the unemployment in the society. In other words, the future anxiety of the students
in the flipped learning classrooms becomes less (Marlowe, 2012). At the same time, the students in these
classrooms establish multidirectional communication and they consolidate their learning and gain experience by
adding technology to the learning process. (Thoms, 2013; Sams & Bergmann, 2012). An individual with his
experience thinks that technology will be useful and it will direct his future plans/goals (Filiz&Kurt, 2015).
The conclusion has been reached that the flipped learning classrooms are effective on the students
attitudes in the future towards technology and they have improved positive attitudes against technology.
According to Prensky (2001), technology provides a significant contributions to the individuals teachinglearning process. Because of these contributions of technology, teachers take technology to their classrooms
and aim that their students should benefit from this technology. Of course, suitable classrooms should be
established in order to achieve these goals. The flipped classrooms provide the students to make use of
technology and at the same time the teachers to act economically about time and place. In the flipped classrooms
the teacher is not in the position of conveying knowledge and the student is not in the position of memorizing
the knowledge any more. In other words, in the flipped classrooms, the students study in cooperation, they show
open participation in the lesson and students and teachers are in constant communication (Turan&Gkta, 2015)
In the flipped learning environment students learn to share within the group, they get unlimited
technology, they improve their multi-sided communication and they always search the points they dont
understand. According to Kalanda (2005) technology creates positive attitudes on students learning in the
classroom and it provides students to participate in the learning process actively. Although, today, students
dont make use of technologic devices much at schools, it has been observed that in the classrooms where
technology is used they have significant changes in the success of students (Volk ve Ming, 1999, Becker ve
Maunsaiyat, 2002). In the increase of this success, the Ministry of Education has had many important projects in
recent years (for example: Innovative Technologies for Participating Classroom (ITEC). The aim of such
projects is to provide both the students and teachers to use the teaching-learning process in an effective way by
using technology. For example, the teacher in the flipped classrooms doesnt spend most of his time by giving a
lesson about the subject. The students who watch and listen to the videos in which the teachers lectures are
before coming to school prepare only projects in the classroom, do their homework and have quizes. Turan and
Gkta (2015) have stated that that the students do these kinds of studies in the flipped classrooms provide them
to participate the lesson actively, they dont memorize the lessons, it makes learning easy, it provides them to
learn the subjects again and again and it is observed that they come to school prepared.
Suggestion:
In the classrooms where technology is used intensively, which skills of the students improve can be studied.
The contribution of the different lessons of the flipped learning to the teaching-learning process can be
studied.
The effect of the application of the flipped learning classrooms at different class levels on the achievement
of the student can be studied.
